Hi Bill, I just left you a voicemail asking for temporary freelance volunteer accreditation to cover the APCE summit next week at the convention center.
I am a Wikipedia editor with over seven years of experience focusing on sustainable energy and transportation solutions, e.g., as the primary author of http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-neutral_fuel If you accredit me for next week I can promise to get you the latest news on the cost to synthesize gasoline from the carbonic acid in seawater. With nighttime wind, I suspect it can be less than $3/gallon. I am a five minute walk from your office. Please call me: 650-427-9625 Best regards, James Salsman ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Regina Ramazzini" <[email protected]> Date: Sep 5, 2013 12:21 AM Subject: Re: Asia Pacific Clean Energy Summit Media Attendance Request To: "James Salsman" <[email protected]> Cc: "Noah Diffenbaugh" <[email protected]>, <[email protected]> Dear James, Your press pass has been denied.

Please see my work with Stanford Professor Noah Diffenbaugh, who I am asking to endorse my request for press credentials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vedQYk1tKwg The associated links are at: https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z13lil4qszeeffff322gi33z5pefehbny Since I would rather not send you 100 URLs to posts, please just give me a subtopic of energy and climate mitigation you are interested in and I will point you to my work there. Please reconsider my request. Best regards, James Salsman Hi James, I'm sorry, I ran your request by a couple of colleagues, but your request for a press pass was not accepted. The only relevant information we could find with your work was the wiki article you sent us. We are limiting press passes to journalists with a focus (and actively) writing on topics related to the event. My apologies. Thank you for your interest.
